    Creating GLaDOS (sort of)

    I have an idea,I want to create an AI that talks like GLaDOS (maybe friendlier and less bent on "testing"),Im a noob programmer though so the AI might be sketchy to start with but my main problem is getting a text to speach program that sounds like glados(which is the most pleasant sounding of all of those robot voices),I have not decided on a name yet ,maybe GnoDOS...would anyone want to contribute?

    I always found the computer voice from 2001: A space Odyssey to be one of the better voices then the computer from Star Trek, but GLaDOS isn't too bad either.

    there are some already made programs out there, like festival and espeak

    Hi snip3r8.

    There is an abundance of open source software.

    Your mileage may vary.
